Our History


Cii was formed in 2016 following the merger on ICTR and Fundraising Ireland, two key players in the non-profit sector, who combined to create a strong voice for high-impact fundraising charities, and the wider not-for-profit sector. Cii is focused on raising standards in the industry, enabling best practice fundraising education and development, and promoting greater transparency and integrity across the sector.
